[atlas] Update on problem with probes’ USB sticks

Hi all,

We want to let you know that we have seen the active conversations about 
the USB sticks and the problems they’re causing for some RIPE Atlas 
probes. We are aware of these issues, and are taking steps to ensure 
this doesn’t become a real problem for the RIPE Atlas system.

We’ve just published a RIPE Labs article that explains the preliminary 
analysis of our logs we’ve begun to investigate this issue. In the 
coming weeks, we will make sure we analyse all the logs we have in order 
to try to find a possible solution. We will keep you posted with any 
updates we have through this article.

We apologise for the inconvenience this is causing for some of our 
users. Thank you for continuing to be a part of RIPE Atlas.

Regards,

Andreas Strikos
(on behalf of the RIPE Atlas team)
